There's a rainbow around the moon.A rainbow around the moon?
Yes...Oh yes, I love that... I love youI love you...Sometimes I close my eyes and try and take myself out of my body so I feel nothing around me, no phone against my ear and I slowly make you appear beside me so that I feel your warm body, your warm breath when you turn to kiss my skin... I just can't seem to keep my eyes closed long enough and then you're gone... Can you tell me what colors you see around the moon?Yes, blue, lots of blue and red...Do you see my favorite color?Yellow?Yes.I do. Just a little.Theres never enough yellow.No there isn't... never enough yellow.Well theres lots of your favorite color I'm sureBlack?Yes.It's everywhere...Just not here.

We are lines drawn on the white we are blind toA coalescent chaos of scribble without direction or purposeIntersecting for moments here and there, others merging into a singularity,Disappearing to become one and then noneFaith eliminates their paths drawing them with ease into the truth

About Me

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...and like all living things, waste away...

I am a shooter and so much more...I see the shot in the camera extending the intended vision and how we'll use it in the final cut, who will see it, why and how, so much goes into the whole and I see it.... I am more than the equipment and I am more than the shooter that guy with the camera on his shoulder, the camera in hand...

On the most basic level I put a camera to my eye, be it digital or film, press the shutter and record...

But I do so much more...just cause it's so much fun to learn all there is...method of record/capture, edit/composite to convey the message, the story there it's always to tell...

Sometimes I think, have I learned all I need... A moment, later I think not...and find more to learn, to apply what I have already learned to new work...

Living & working in the San Francisco Bay area where I'm working and exploring life as a Project Manager long versed in Producing, Shooting, Editing for Broadcast and Webcast and many forms of development and presentation...
